Barnhart filling in for Barfield in race control

By:

Former race director Brian Barnhart will replace Barfield in race control for Saturday and Sunday's races.

Barnhart is currently senior vice president of operations and was race director from 1997-2011. He was removed from race control by former IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard at the end of a controversial 2011 season in which both Will Power and Helio Castroneves had public disagreements with Barnhart.
